PSP Web browser hidden in Wipeout Pure

For those who want to browse websites on their PSP, mozy, roto and others have already figured out the hack, see hackaday:

the new psp game wipeout pure apparantly comes with a full featured web browser that is used to download updates. normally it’s restricted for that purpose alone, but roto sent me a line this morning saying that it could be hacked to function as a general web browser with a little dns trickery.

The blood and guts of how this was done is available at this mirror site. However, for those who own Wipeout Pure, already, Agret comments on Slashdot that:

Someone has already kindly setup a portal for all you people who want to view this without setting up a DNS server or from any access point. You can see his portal with your web browser (computer) here: http://67.171.70.72/wipeout/index.html

To use this on your PSP simply set your DNS to 67.171.70.72 inside the network settings then go into Wipeout Pure and hit Download.

More information about this portal is available here.

will someone make a USB mouse or small keypad for PSP? Are there any devices can ease web browsing so far?

Comment by dennis — June 12, 2005 @ 3:58 am PST

Do you have to open up wipeout pure each time you want to surf the internet? Or do you just have to do it once and the internet will always be your option once you have done it the first time? because I was planning on renting it and then do it. You guys are experts. Thanks alot.

Comment by Eddue — July 28, 2005 @ 7:40 am PST

Comment by bobby — August 2, 2005 @ 10:09 pm PST

bobby - there will be an official Sony web browser in version 2.0 of the firmware which is slated to be relased on Aug 12, 2005. Accessing the hidden browser in the Wipeout Pure game described above should be legal, assuming one has legally acquired the game and Sony PSP of course If you are nervous than just wait for the official Sony firmware upgrade.

Comment by TDavid — August 3, 2005 @ 2:10 am PST

I would like to have the software on wap browsering. Thanks

how do i get internet browser without the wipeout pure game? or can i?? any little info will help

Comment by Justin — November 15, 2005 @ 4:27 pm PST

Hi Justin - just upgrade the PSP firmware to version 2.xx — it comes with internet capability. Just keep in mind that when you do that you will lose any homebrew capability you might have previously had. See the official Sony PSP website for details.
